The Court of Appeal delivered its judgment on 1 June 2023. An appeal to the Supreme Court must be filed within 60 days of the Court of Appeal's judgment. The appellant intends to file the Supreme Court appeal on 5 August 2023. Determine whether the appeal to the Supreme Court is within the permissible time limit.
